Faceted volumes surround courtyard at FreelandBuck's Second House

This house in Los Angeles by US architecture firm FreelandBuck comprises a series of volumes with steeply pitched tops, which draw on the roofscape of its neighbour.Locally based FreelandBuck designed the 1,500-square-foot (139-square-metre) residence as a series of irregular volumes tucked behind an existing property in the Culver City neighbourhood.The residence – aptly called Second House – has an angular form that playfully takes cues from the neighbour's gabled rooftops.
